Title
ADOPT the findings of a Title VI Triennial Review of FTA required service standards that found no disparate impact in the attainment of service standards relative to minority and non-minority services operated by Metro. This review was conducted for Metro bus and rail service during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016:

A. Finding that the Metro bus system conforms to the adopted Bus Passenger Loading Standards and results in no disparate impact on minorities. The Rail Passenger Loading Standards cannot accurately be determined, due to the Metro Rail ridership data collection methodology. It relies on a limited number of staff counting the boarding and alighting passengers while riding a limited number of rail cars. (Attachment A); and

B. Finding that the Metro bus system and rail system conform to the adopted Headway Standards and result in no disparate impact. (Attachment B); and

C. Finding that while Metro bus lines are not in conformance with the adopted In-Service On-Time Performance Standards (ISOTP) of 80%, there was no disparate impact. The system wide average bus ISOTP was 73.0% on weekdays, 71.6% on Saturdays, and 76.8% on Sundays. The percentage of bus lines meeting this standard were 43.5% of weekday, 42.4% on Saturday and 54.8% during Sunday. All rail lines meet the standard of 90% for light rail and 95% for heavy rail. The assessment of the current findings are contained in (Attachment C); and

D. Finding that Metro and its fixed route operating partners are in conformance and no disparate impact with the adopted System Accessibility Standard. (Attachment D); and

E. Finding that Metro bus and rail service passenger facilities are in conformance and no disparate impact with the adopted Passenger Amenities Standards. (Attachment E); and
